I was tallying bodies today, and we are coming up short for RSOs (Range Safety Officers) for our Veterans Day machine gun shoot. I have other people that I can go to, but I figured I would ask here first, and extend the opportunity to some that may not get it otherwise.....
First and foremost, it is on a volunteer basis. You'll get some free ammo and range time, free food, but not physically paid.
Ideally, we want individuals who have experience working with non experienced shooters. This does not mean you must be an istructor. There are instructors that I would not allow on my range, so that is definitely no a prerequisite. Bottom line, even though its voluntary, I have to have a warm fuzzy about you on the firing line, and know that you'll grab a hot machine gun without thinking, if needed. Obviously with gloves on
Experience with machine guns is a plus, but not mandatory. We will be running everything from M4s and AKs, to SAWs and 240Bs. If you're a quick learner, prior experience not necessary. You will not be instructing in any way, other than showing how to load and unload the weapon. Able to communicate well with people in a clear, concise manner, and keep your cool at all times is a must.
Last but not least, I am not assuming that everyone here is allowed to own/use firearms, so if you are subject to a civil protection order, have been convicted of any crime of domestic violence, any felony charge, or for any reason are not allowed on either the state or federal level to own or use firearms, please do not offer to help. You will be required to fill out a waiver, with Lautenberg certification, which we will keep on file in case an issue should arise.
If interested, send me a PM. Give me some time to sort through my PMs and respond. I may not get back to you right away. Be prepared to provide a phone number for me to call you and discuss. If you are not willing to provide a direct contact number, do not send me a PM.
